Summer LOVIN...


Why is it I blink and it has been months, weeks... or just too long with out updating this page. 
I am going to chalk it up to my desire to give our site yet another face lift. (Hopefully coming soon). 

Regardless....

It has been a VERY BUSY few months. The rain is settled in so I tonight I thought I would stay warm looking through and downloading our summer photos by my warm fire of course!

Here are some of our favorites!




We kicked off the summer celebrating THIS BOY'S BIRTHDAY!

Like all FIVE years olds.... You must kick off the party by jumping down the entire flight of stairs!!!

Thankful for their relationship!!!

These kids LOVE their Horsey G'Ma
There I am... not behind the camera!
Our BIRTHDAY art project!

The theme you ask... We threw a pirate party (for the second year)!


we survived the heat wave with the help of our Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad!!!!

 I said survived... But it still wasn't pleasant. Kendall's face says it all!




We survived the 4th of July in our neighborhood with the help of commercial grade headphones (in pink of course)



Mason threw out the first pitch at a baseball game (THANK YOU AUNTIE)




He did the above on the field!





We are so blessed with such amazing friends and family! We had an amazing turn out to support Mason!!!





We took advantage of LABOR DAY weekend and ran away to Long Beach!












We took advantage of lazy days!!!!

We ate A LOT of watermelon
Greg was pinned with South King County!



 Mason could not be more proud of his DAD!
We had FAMILY photos!






For now that about wraps it up!
As always we thank you for checking up on our family!

Loaded Diaper?!?!?

Today's post title comes to you from the one and only Greg Garka... Thanks for the idea babe! As far as Mason is concernced today was another good day for our little man! We made our goal and got up and went on a total of three walks. The last walk of the night he spotted the “playroom” and was interested so we stopped and visited with our neighbors while he played. It was the highlight of the day. His appetite decreased today but that is to be expected since he hadn’t yet had a bowel movement (in 6 days)– however about 60 minutes ago things changed in that department and I am happy to report his bowels are working and back in action… During his echo he was again a crowd pleaser and was on his best behavior. The technician said that he was the best 3 year old she has done. It is so funny; he gets upset when something is about to happen and he doesn’t understand what. He tells us he is scared and then after we explain to him what they are going to do and that it won’t hurt –

Our Day at Children's

Hello all, Kelsey and I spent the morning at Children's Hopsital in Seattle today, what a place! They sure do a good job of trying to make the kids feel comfortable...part of me didn't even feel like I was at a hospital. We met with a Cardiologist, Dr. Vernon, and a Paranaetologist, Dr. Holmgren (yes, Mike Holmgren's daughter). Both of them were very nice and extremely informational. Dr. Vernon did confirm that Mason has HLHS and is a candidate for the Fontan Operations, which are the three stage surgeries he will have to go through to get his heart working as normal as possible. Kelsey and I have been talking about where we would want to do the surgeries in case we weren't comfortable with Seattle Children's. We knew going in that Children's in Seattle is one of the premeir hospitals in the country, but weren't sure how they were compared to other hospital's like University of Michigan with this particular heart disease. I'm glad to say that w

Wordy Wednesday or Wordless Wednesday????

The big question of the day should I be wordy or wordless on Wednesday? If I go WORDY a post might have quotes such as: - When you are through changing you are through - It takes both rain and shuneshine to make a rainbow - If a care is too small to be turned into a prayeer, it is too small to be made into a burden - We make our plans, but the Lord determines out steps. Proverbs 16:19 - The world at its worst needs a church at its best - The essence of generosity is self-sacrifice - Philanthrophy, like chartity must begin at home - A reject opportunity to give is a lost opportunity to recieve If I go WORDLESS I could share my life through photos... Message me, facebook me, call me, leave a comment or talk to me in person either way let me know your thoughts...
